What kind of a nurse will McCready make? 23 NEIL FRANCIS MCDONOUGH July 6, 1924 Neil is from Buffalo, New York.

Participating in intramural sports and an active mem¬ ber of the Monitor Club, have been Peggy’s main con¬ tributions to Wi-Hi. We will all remember Peggy by the friendly manner that she showed by those slaps she gives on the back. If Peggy shows as much ac¬ tivity in her future as she does around school, she will certainly make a good nurse.

SMITH, JR. September 30, 1926 Marion was bom in Salisbury, too. After gradua¬ tion “Smitty” plans to join the Navy and we are sure he will make quite a handsome “gob.” Maybe the Navy will make him not so shy. It usually does! WILLIAM W.

During her sophomore year she played intramural fieldball and basketball. Like many other seniors, “Peggy” has been a monitor.

Since he has been in high school, he has held different home room offices, in¬ cluding president. When he finally gets his diploma, “Clem” says he supposes he will go in the Army. We wonder if his top sergeant will appreciate all those wisecracks that he is so famous for. We hope he like s them as much as we have. 34 EDYTH MYRTLE BEETS April 9, 1925 “Mimi”, as Myrtle is sometimes called, was born In Newark, New Jersey.

As yet Wendell is undecided aoout the future, but “Uncle Sam” isn’t. STANTON ISAAC RICHARDSON May 16, 1925 “Scramps” is a native Salisburian. During high school, he excelled in football, basketball, and h gh jumping. Probably the one thing that demanded so much of everyone’s attention is that saxophone of his. Stanton plans to get a job after high school and—. He leaves behind to someone h is personality and ability to make friends. RICHARD LEE RYALL May 1, 192C A resident of our own city is “Buddy”.

His desire is to enter the Naval Air Maintenance Department. He leaves behind his abili¬ ty in sports and at “math”. t DONALD GRANT TAYLOR January 28, 1923 “Dean” hails from Salisbury. Unlike some of the other Salisburians we can not say he is the quiet type, on the contrary he is just the opposite. He is happy-go-lucky. “Dean” seldom takes part in any school activities. He leaves behind to his brother Oscar his friendly disposition. If war hadn’t been de¬ clared, Donald was going to try his hand as a brick mason, but now he is thinking of the Navy Air Corps. WILLIAM J. WAGNER May 3, 1926 “Tooter” comes from Salisbury. Since he has been in high school, he has played all sorts of intramural sports and has held many offices in his home room. After June “Tooter” wants either to join the Navy or to be an electrician. Why doesn’t he compromise? Mr. Jones will remember him as one of the noiser members of No. 19. ROBERT FRANKLIN WILLIAMS August 14, 1926 “Bobby”, of Salisbury, is one of the school’s ath¬ letes. During his sophomore and junior years, he was very enthusiastic about baseball and football. Here’s another “leatherneck” for “Uncle Sam”, be¬ cause “Bobby” intends to join the Marines. We will always remember “Bobby” for keeping his business to himself. 36 Jfn ilnnorta JOANNE DOLBY LONG 1927 1948 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (1943) “However high our names may be inscribed upon the gilded scroll of fame”, to you, Wicomico High School, we owe all our honors and bring all our praises. “And, when, in after years, we’re wearied by the bustle of a busy world, our hearts will often long to turn and seek repose within your walls.” But to turn and seek repose would be impossible, so it is through this, the History of Class of ’43 that we can return again in me¬ mory to the pleasant yesteryears. 1939- 40 On September 2, 1939, one hundred and seventy-five timid boys and girls trudged up the winding streets to Wicomico High School Some were hesitant to enter and stood without in awe and consternation while oth¬ ers, “Freshies” in the true sense of the word, rushed bravely in. With each passing year we gained more confidence and courage to continue. For some the task seemed too burdensome, and they gave up. But the ma¬ jority resolved to make the goal, no matter how difficult the task. Bewildered and frightened, we roamed from room to room in search of our destination. As Freshmen usually do, we went up and down the wrong stairs only to be corrected by the constantly vigilant monitors. Gradually this general state of chaos diminished. Elections were held in the various home rooms, and we settled down to some hard work. Some of us became acquainted with Latin, and al l of us came to know the gym. For several weeks as many forgot to bring gym clothes as remembered. Per¬ haps our greatest achievement during our first year was in athletics. Four of our classmates, Jean Croswell, Jane Wulf, Margaret Vanderbogart, and Mary Wright Silvey became the champion 220-yard relay team of the East¬ ern Shore. Spring finally arrived and with it came thoughts of vacation. Sometimes our studies were neglected, for our interests were diverted to swimming, hiking and visiting. At last final exams arrived. There was the usual cramming and all anxiously awaited reports. Summer was given a hearty welcome, and our first year of hard work was over. 1940- 41 With the passing of summer,, we returned to school as sophisticated sophomores. Our first few days were much different from those of the previous year. Now we could laugh and sympathize with the “stupid” freshmen. A decidedly different feeling was felt by each of us. We began to take part in school activities! The same girls’ quartet won the cham¬ pionship of Wicomico County in the 220-yard relay team event. Several of our classmates took part in the operetta, the “Mikado”, which was a great success. Immediately after the “Mikado” we became very enthusi¬ astic about the oncoming Student Council election. This election was pre¬ ceded by a general rally in the auditorium where candidates names, Ed¬ ward Stein, Charlotte White, Betty Jane Brittingham and Mary Jane John¬ son appeared among those on placards in huge letters. The election re¬ sults were finally announced—Mary Jane Johnson, second vice president; Betty Jane Brittingham, third vice president; and Jane Wulf, secretary. Again final examinations arrived but this time we faced them with more confidence, self assurance, and less apprehension. We left school with a feeling of importance, since we had passed the half-way mark of our goal. 1941-42 In 1941 we returned to high school as “Upperclassmen”. We started by electing our Junior Class officers: Mary Jane Johnson, president; Mary 38 Wright Silvey, vice president; Paul Rogers, treasurer; Betty Jane Britting- ham, secretary; and Rodney Austin, historian. Several of our classmates took active part on the newspaper staff; namely, Charlotte White as as¬ sociate editor, Anne Brewington and Edward Lord as assistant editors. We shall never forget the splendid performances in our Junior Class Play, “One Mad Night”, by Billy Lewis Shockley, Mac Williams, Betty Ann Gor- dy, Ellin Early, Franklin Moore, Joanne Long, Lee Jenkins, Rodney Austin, Jean Owens, Helen Barr, Mary Wright Silvey, Joyce Webster, Richard Green, and Billy Benjamin. This comedy, under the direction of Mrs. Long, proved a great success, and was said to be one of the best Junior Class plays ever presented. Many of our friends took part in the operetta, “The Belle of Bagdad”, which also was successful. In sports, home room 30 took the honors on Field Day. Run and catch, the 50, 220 (boys’) and 220 (girls’) yard dashes, volley ball, running broad jump, standing broad jump (girls’) and the 80-yard dash were all won by them. Toward the closing of the year, one of our art students, Ellin Early, won third prize in a nation-wide jewelry-designing contest of high school students. Perhaps, we received no greater thrill during our Junior year than at the Junior and Senior Class Banquet. Here we heard the “Upperclass” bequeath to us some of their dearest possessions which were to be guarded closely and jealously. As the year closed, we had our final election determining who should hold the re sponsible jobs during the coming year. For the Wi-Hi News, Charlotte White was elected its editor. For the Student Council, Betty Jane Brittingham was elected president; Jane Wulf, first vice presi¬ dent; and Ellin Early, secretary. Because of increasing war restrictions, many of us ordered our class rings in advance of our Senior year. The skel¬ eton plans made for the coming year, we took leave of school, anxious to re¬ turn with the dignity and prestige of a Senior. 1942-43 Senior year ... the top of the ladder of achievement... was ours. The class elected its officers: Paul Rogers, president; Mary Wright Silvey, vice- president; Bonnie Lee Cummins, treasurer; Doris Sturgis, secretary; and Edward Lord, historian. These officers aided by representatives from home rooms, selected Iris as the class flower, Blue and Gold as the class colors, and “Honor lies at Labor’s Gate” as the class motto. The Tom-Tom came to the front early in November. Elections were held with the result that Elsie English was elected editor-in-chief. Elsie selected her staff con¬ sisting of Advertising Manager, Nancy Ellen Gordy, and Business Manager, John Malone. Soon March 26 and the long-awaited Senior Prom arrived. There was the usual excitement about choosing partners. The gym was elaborate with decorations, and the Grand March, the music, and, of the refreshments were perfect. Then came the declamation contest, the win¬ ner of which would automatically be chosen valedictorian for our class commncement night. Rodney Austin took the honors in that contest. Plans are now under way for the Senior Class play “The Fighting Lit¬ tles”. The cast, Billy Lewis Shockley, Rodney Austin, Edward Holloway, Paul Rogers, John Malone, Ruth Northam, Mary Wright Silvey, Jean Croswell, Betty Jane Elliott, Ellin Early, Charlotte Brown, Joan Disharoon, Mary Jane Johnson, Betty Ann Gordy, and Joyce Webster, is under the capable direction of Mr. Mitchell. May brings the Junior and Senior Class Banquet. Little time remains between now and the Baccalaureate Ser¬ vices and Commencement night. As we hear our valedictorian say fare¬ well to our “Alma Mater” we shall be a little sad for we realize that we -shall never again enjoy the privileges of high school days. .K Edward Lord, Historian. -..tvi 39 WulL We, the Class of 1943, do bequeath to those worthy (?) underclass¬ men— 1.

ACTIVITIES 49 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY (1943) Due to the lack of an adequate opening sentence, we shall plunge im¬ mediately into this dessertation on the Junior Class. During the freshman year the freshman boys were exceedingly 1°JJ®U since the girls seemed to prefer seniors to them but as time went by they came into their own. Being only freshman, we were, at that time, too shy to voice our opinions on the works of our great school, but how we have changed in the ensuing years! At the end of our second semester many sophomores were elected to high offices of the student council and other organizations. Then came the junior year, heralded by the arrival of that sophisticate of Philadelphia, Kalamazoo and all points west, Eleanor Anderson. It was during this eventful year that Edward Niemann distinguished himself as a mathematician of the higher intelligence brackets by solvmg the sixth problem, page 159, in Miss Helen Warren’s geometry class. For the first time in the history of Wicomico High School a Junior Party was held. It was a great success due to the combined efforts ot Mr. Mitchell, Miss Straughn, and Joe Gollner. The Junior Class Play, “Spring Fever”, was given this year under the capable direction ot Mr. Mitchell. The characters were played by Jack Holt, Alfred Truitt, John Carrico, Robert Riley, David Blackwell, Carlyn Merryman, Annalee Mes- sick, Joanne Erwin, Elizabeth Mason, Genevieve Ross, and Frances Mad¬ dox. An outstanding performance was given by Robert Riley in his char¬ acterization of Professor Virgil Beane. For the first time Spanish was introduced as an alternate course for French. Because of an overwhelming vote for Spanish there was no first year French course offered this year. The Operetta, “Forest Prince”, directed jointly by Miss Adkins and Miss Davis, was presented Friday, April 9, 1943. Juniors in the cast were David Blackwell, as Ivan; Dick Frazier, Prince Dimitri; Eleanor Ander¬ son, Anne Baysinger, Mary Lou Hopkins, Mary Lou Jenkins, Patsy Brown, Mary Louise Kemp, Sally Davis, Carlyn Merryman, Joanne Erwin, and Ann Scott Pierce, Ladies of the Court; Dick Pollitt, David Beuret, Jack Holt, Alfred Truitt, Morris Jones, and Joe Gollner, Boys’ Chorus. Results of an election for Junior Class Officers are as follows; Presi¬ dent, Joe Gollner; Vice-president, Eva Stauch; Secretary, Betty Lee Horse¬ man. In closing it can truly be said that if the Junior Class of next year has as much fun as we had, they’ll have one swell time and will never regret having been Juniors. Jack Hastings, Historian David Blackwell r 0 WI-HI NEWS In 1937 Audrey Stewart, then a Senior, realized that a school such as ours needed a school publication. With the cooperation of other in¬ terested persons she endeavored to make her dream a reality. The name Wi-Hi News was given the paper in a contest won bv Nancv Holloway ’39. First issues of the newspaper contained six pages but it was soon revised to have only four. The paper has progressed from its small beginning to a paper which has won recommendation from press associations. Each year the staff inaugurates some new column or idea to make the paper more journalistic. In 1938 and ’39 editors were Josephine Taylor and Bill Tilghman. This year a Senior Issue was published to pinch hit for a yearbook. Wada Wade was the next in line to be succeeded by Charlotte ‘Ann Wilkins ’41. The Senior Class of ’41 published the first yearbook since 1928. Under the capable direction of Orland Langrall the paper was printed in 42 This year the paper has continued with Charlotte E. White as editor- in-chief. The main feature of the year was the Victory Issue in December, which showed the role the high school is playing in this war. Associate Editor.Mary Lou Jenkins Assistant Editors.David Blackwell, Marion Venables Business Manager.Edward Stein Advertising Manager.Edward Nieman News Editor.Betty Jane Brittingham Faculty advisors for this year were Mrs. Sara F. Long and Miss Au¬ drey C. Stewart, the original founder. 51 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, the largest single organization in school, be¬ cause every student and teacher is a member, sponsored a number of dances, assemblies. All-School Night, and other activities this year. The officers are as follows: Betty Jane Brittingham. President: Mary Jane Johnson, Eva Stauch. David Blackwell, Vice-Presidents: Ellin Early. Secretary. The Committees and Chairmen have been: Monitor. Mary Jane Johnson; Assembly. Eva Stauch (Junior and Senior), Eva Stein (Fresh¬ man and Sophomore) ; Social. David Blackwell; Bulletin Board and Ad¬ vertising. Nancy Ellen Gordy and Opal Kayes; Honor Roll. Bonnie Lee Cummins. It is the aim of the Council to carry on the wmrk that will benefit the members and the school. The most outstanding assembly of the year, presented by the Coun¬ cil was the Quiz Program, in which Ed Stein was Master of Ceremonies and Stanton Richardson, announcer. The Social Committee sponsored dances for each class. They were all successful. A new system for monitors was planned and carried out—complete with armbands. All-School Exhibit was the largest project the Student Council spon¬ sored this vear. It was held on April 30. Aside from the exhibits on the first and second flocr. the most outstanding feature was the program presented in the auditorium. It included selections by the band and Jo¬ anne Little, pianist; gym exhibitions by the boys and girls; and a Minstrel Show, written and directed by Mrs. Howard Carey. The Student Council this year has been under the able direction of Miss Eleanor Davis and Mrs. Dorothy McElrath, our faculty advisors. 52 WICOMICO HIGH SCHOOL BOYS’ BAND February, 1937, is certainly a date which should be remembered not only by the Wicomico High School but also the city of Salisbury. It was at this time that the idea of a Boys’ Band was conceived by the local Chamber of Commerce. Through the cooperation of the Lions Club, a special committee was set up, with Mr. Dickenson as chairman, to start this organization. To get the band organized and actually functioning was the greatest task of all. This was ably handled by Professor H. B. Marston. Only by “Chief’s” preservance, eternal patience, and alertness could this band suc¬ cessfully have been carried out. The success of the Wicomico Boys’ Band is known by all. Its most outstanding accomplishment was to receive for two consecutive years, a Class A-l rating at the annual State Band Con¬ test held in Baltimore. Along with this achievement the band has played successful concerts every summer in the park, taking active parts in all civic activities, and parading and playing for the football games. This band has been, without a doubt, one of the finest extracurricular activities in the school. The organization has reflected much credit on both the school and the town. Probably the greatest and worthiest contribution the Band has made is the training of many boys who are with the armed forces. An honor roll plaque, bearing their names, hangs now in the band room. This year, as well as all other years, the band will again lose some of its original members, but we who are leaving can confidently say that “Chief” will somewhere find someone who can take our places. We who are graduating will never forget the musical guidance which “Chief” has rendered us and will always have a warm spot in our heart for both him and the band. The Senior Class of ’43 sincerely wishes Mr. Marston continued suc¬ cess throughout the coming year. THE CAMERA CLUB . .The Camera Club was organized this year by a few active members. The officers are Jane Hakemer, President; Frances Maddox, Vice- President; Doris Smith, Secretary and Treasurer; and Roy Withers, Wi-Hi News Reporter. Other members are Marilea Powell, Belva Hastings, Mil¬ dred fooks, John Faison and Bonnie Lee Cummins. All of them wish to thank Miss Francis, Miss Alford, Miss Erwood, Miss H. Warren, Miss J. Warren, Mr. Howard, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Twilley for making this club a success by their interest and helpful suggestions. The projects carried out were the study of the Camera, the sponsor¬ ship of a Photo Contest, the showing (through the courtesy of the East¬ man Kodak Co.) of slides on “Picture Taking” and “Night Photography” and the presentation of the motion picture “The Cavalcade of America”. 54 WICOMICO HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB The officers elected for the year of 1943 were: President.Mac Williams Vice-President.Joyce Webster Secretary Treasurer.Mattie Lee Rayne First Librarian.Mary Wright Silvey Second Librarian .Dorothy Jean Wells and Joanne Little Miss Adkins was the director of the Glee Club with Mac Williams as the accompanist. Activities of the Glee Club included singing for assembly programs and the annual Christmas program, which was unusual this year because Choir robes and candles were used in processional and songs sung during holy silhouettes. Also the annual Operetta, “The Forest Prince”, was given with all members of the Glee Club participating. Our club also joined with other clubs and choirs of Salisbury in singing on various occasions, as for the anniversary of the Service Center. It is customary that we sing on “All School Night” and at Commence¬ ment, which concludes another year’s happy services of the Glee Club. The following members of the Glee Club are made up or Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen: Mac Williams Joyce Webster Mattie Lee Rayne Mary Wright Silvey Joanne Little Saralee Long Franklin Moore Helen Barr Jean Owens Robert Doepp Myrtle Beets Yvette Sokoloff David Blackwell Kenneth Hayes Dick Frazier Mary E. Bounds Margaret Carey Iris Chatham Ann Elliott Mary E. Gordy Jane Hakemer Peggy Hastings Opal Hayes Etta Lou Hopkins Mary Lou Hopkins Margaret Jones Shirley Jump Ann Kuhn Betty J. Livingston Barbara Mitchell Gloria Parsons Juanita Simms Ann Tingle Marianna Rounds Eleanor Anderson Ann Baysinger Sally Davis Mary Jean Dennis Nancy Haddock Ruth Holland Betty Hurdle Mary Louis Kemp Joanne Lewis Vivian Mumford Ann Troy Jeanette Williams Jack Holt Anne Brewington Evelyn Stewart Although some members will be lost to us through graduation, the above list indicates that we shall have enough left to continue our annual duties. Respectfully, MATTIE LEE RAYNE SPORTS This year Wicomico High School did not have a regular basketball team. There were, however, a great many students interested in play¬ ing basketball so Mr. Hearne and Miss Messenger organized an intramural basketball league for both boys and girls.
